They are good games. I felt Shadows of Almia was funner because of the hands on gameplay, and silly writing. Also the nicer sprite art. But Mystery Dungeon has memorable characters, and the older games fit a nice difficulty niche.

Sure, we could point out the moments when Princess Peach proved herself to be less capable of having the same abilities as the Mario Bros., Rosalina, Bowser, the Kongs (Donkey, Diddy & Dixie), Yoshi and yes, even Daisy. She really should focus more on having fun with being a sportswoman than a damsel in distress. So with Nintendo’s sexism, that takes away the fun we could have had with the Mario franchise, right? Actually, far from it! You see, even though it’s not perfect like some people say it is, Mario is a franchise that is widely and rightfully praised for its games (depending on what they are, points to the Mario Discovery series as the worst examples and most of the Super Mario games of the late 20th Century and 2000s RPGs as the best examples), graphical style (though execution matters more than concept, otherwise, it’s style over substance), soundtracks, stories (when they want to be strong depending on the game), dedication and characters (yea, even Peach can be a likeable character as long as they make her a good sport like in Mario Sports).

Triple Jump: Every Nintendo Franchise Ranked Splatoon and ARMS: Am I a joke to you

[@andrelamont9001]

what about nintendogs and wii sports

[@ClavaleeDefunct]

There has to be at least 3 games in that series and wii sports club was a remake so there's only 2 in wii sports, 2 in splatoon, 2 in Nintendogs, and only 1 in the ARMS franchise (obviously)

I personally think Xenoblade would of made top 10 had it not been reviewed by a ton of people who don't like JRPG's. Due to X and 2 release times (both being the only big release at there respective times) they got a ton of reviews by non JRPG guys who weighted them down. The first game had the advantage of being a shadow release meaning big Nintendo reviewers skipped on it and didn't weigh its score down.

[@antimatterstudios8395]

Sormon easily a top 10 and a top 5 at least for me

[@theawesomekidsofgaming7644]

MOTHER is completely perfect. It deserves number one.

[@IAMVOMITFOREVER]

mother is my favorite franchise ever- and earthbound will forever be my favorite game, but mother as a franchise is far beyond perfect. especially the first game, which even as a die-hard fan of the entire franchise, i find it a far-cry from both the later titles.

[@theawesomekidsofgaming7644]

Well, the first game is not as good as the others but the franchise makes up for it in Mother 3

[@IAMVOMITFOREVER]

SuperKidz mother 3 is truly great, but it still has several flaws. as does earthbound. like it said- the franchise as a whole is far from perfect

[@PedroMatos482]

Just release a remake of the trilogy with better inventory management/UI design and a fitting art style and I'll be happy

[@iancole2279]

To be fair Torna was given the lowest score because it’s more of a dlc prequel then an actual new game.

Over the past 2 months, when I go to bed I've been listening to Triple Jump videos in the background until I doze off listening to them. Recently, I've been listening to this & each and every time I've fallen asleep before I'm halfway through. I literally know so much of this video off by heart.

[@AndroidHarris]

Kirby is number 1. I don't get as excited for a Mario or zelda title as I do for any Kirby game. I'm so sad he isn't higher... I play a lot and i mean a lot of video games but the Kirby series is one of my favorites next to undertale, persona 5, ace attorney, and earthbound.

[@tiredhippo82]

My problem isn’t that you separated Mario main line games into 2D and 3D...my problem is that you didn’t do it for the legend of Zelda. Do it for both or do it for neither!

[@alexbenton6306]

Ranking would be the same

[@-KillaWatt-]

To be fair there are only a few 2d Zelda games in comparison to Mario to make it worth separating.

[@MazzillaMadness]

@@-KillaWatt- that would seem to be the case at a first glance but: Mario 2d: -Mario bros.

[@JoaoPedro-mx4lx]

@@MazzillaMadness Also, I would consider the games released for the DS as 2D Zeldas. Although they have 3D graphics, they are played from a top-down perspective, so they are 2D, like ALBW or TFH.

[@BethNote]

As a Fire Emblem i am very shocked (and happy) we cracked the top 20. I was expecting us in the 30's. The series is a little...inconsistently consistent. Being many are broadly similar with stories ranging from engaging (Genealogy, Three Houses, Awakening), pretty standard (nearly all of them) and why oh god dear god why (Fates)

[@Ultimabuster92]

Fates had amazing gameplay though

[@notsofunny9651]

I'd appreciate this list but as we all know, Games Critics really can't be trusted And they missed the Magical Series, among others.

[@SullySideUp]

Are you referring to the Magical Starsign games? Because there were only 2 of those so they don't fit the list criteria Or the Magical Disney games? They weren't first or second party nintendo Can't find any other Nintendo franchises with magical in the title so I suspect it's one of these two, maybe listen to the list rules before finding any excuse to moan at content creators who clearly put a lot of effort into their work

[@user-gk4jp6lt2b]

What's that

[@newageBoundhippie]

@@SullySideUp I mean their criteria is dumb to begin with...ignoring some games because "reasons", only counting IPs with at least 3 games, counting every individual series as it's own franchise ( yes, there IS a difference between a series and a franchise. half this video is just the Mario & DK franchise and the Pokemon franchise ), counting a licensed IP....hell their Playstation video counted Crash & Spyro which were merely exclusive and NEVER owned by Sony.

[@benjaminrosa1418]

You asked why the fourth most rated series is letting get dust by Nintendo. Answer is that the series is intrinsically related to writer Shigesato Itoi. But he just doesn't want to make more because it would be like those stars that get some great first albulms, but then they release albums that are good but are only remebered for the first three albums.

[@LoveFactoryParties]

oh BOYS, you've outdone yourselves this time

[@KazuhaEien]

This is a really nice list, though I'm really sad you didn't mention The Thousand Year Door of Paper Mario. And I really loved Pokémon Mystery Dungeon as well, I prefer it over the main games and it has amazing and compelling stories, but that's your opinion. I think my favorite would be Fire Emblem, or Kid Icarus if it wasn't so forgotten. FE is my favorite franchise that isn't considered forgotten or at least underrated yet because it is very unique, relaxing, and compelling. I see why a lot of people find it bland or weird, but I really loved it a lot since I first played Awakening, it has a lot of compelling stories, a beautiful anime artstyle, a lot of good characters with some amazing character designs, some really relaxing gameplay (that is sometimes addictive in the case of Fates and Three Houses), and awesome music. Not only that, the fanbase is one of the few fanbases where I actually enjoy to be in, and overall FE is just a better Game of Thrones to me. Kid Icarus Uprising is my absolute favorite game of all time, not only is it my favorite on my favorite console, but it is fun, addictive, creative, and just something really special to me. I'm really sad it's really underrated, whenever I see someone praise it I cry a bunch of tears of joy. It's got my favorite Nintendo protagonist (Pit), and my favorite Nintendo villain (Hades). I love almost all the characters (except for Psudeo Palutena, I just wanna slap her in the face), and it has one of my favorite plot twists ever in gaming, where Hades turns out to be the real villain of the story. Nonetheless Kid Icarus Uprising is amazing and deserves more love and attention. I really wish it could get a sequel on the Switch, although Sakurai doesn't plan to. I think the best of all tho would be the Mother/Earthbound series. It's got a very dark and wonderful story, and AMAZING characters. Lukas and Ness are both amazing protagonists, with a lot to them. I always cry whenever I see Claus's death, and both Porky and Ninten deserve to be in Smash a lot. I think I have spoiled enough, but Mother/Earthbound is really underrated, forgotten but will always be a amazing series.

[@ryancraig110]

No the problem is it is not their opinion they just regurgitate the opinions of the game critics the same ones who have been shitting on the Pokemon mystery dungeon games for years despite the fact that fans love the games it is not their opinion they're just regurgitating what they read online without playing the game to make up they're own opinion
